Ex-Minister to move court

Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: K.K. Ramachandran, who resigned as Health Minister following adverse remarks from the Lok Ayukta and leakage of his telephone talk with the Wayanad District Medical Officer, has said that he would approach the judiciary to prove his innocence.

The former Health Minister told a news conference here on Sunday that he suspected the genuineness of the taped version of his telephonic conversation with the DMO as several portions of the actual dialogue appeared to be missing from it. He conceded that he had indeed spoken to the DMO just as he had spoken to several other officers in his department, but could not recall what he had said over the phone. He was in consultation with senior lawyers and would approach courts of law, Mr. Ramachandran said. He also expressed his unhappiness with the Lok Ayukta's observations against him.
